Surprise! RHOC alum Braunwyn Windham-Burke ties the knot with longtime lover Jennifer Spinner
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County are all too familiar with its former star Braunwyn Windham-Burke, especially after she came out as a lesbian in 2020.Well, the former housewife is making headlines again after she had a last minute wedding ceremony over the weekend at home with her longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Spinner.The two tied the knot at their Nashville, Tennessee house on December 4, with the ceremony attended by five of Windham-Burkes seven children.See on InstagramThis is just about us and us saying, You know what? We love each other. Lets do this, Windham-Burke told People.Although the two initially meant to wed in 2026, the anti-LGBTQ+ climate we all fear from the upcoming Trump presidency had the two wanting to tie the knot while they still had the chance. Still, they have larger weddings planned in Guatemala, California, and New York down the road, but by having the smaller get-together first, Windham-Burke said they wont be as stressed out so it will be more like a party with our friends.Were so excited to finally be legally wife and wifey, she said of the random ceremony. Jen is my best friend, and I am so lucky that I get to wake up and go to bed with the person that Id rather be around more than anyone else.See on InstagramSee on Instagram"I know it's funny that we're planning it last minute, but it's not a trivial decision," Spinner adds, noting that the marriage is more for the kids than anything. "Every kid is always looking for structure and safety that the adults in their life are going to be there for the long haul. This marriage is about showing them and having that legally documented that I am a parent. I'm one of four parents, but I'm a parent and I take that seriously and that I'm not going anywhere."The couple initially met on Instagram in 2022 and had two proposals, one from each wife. They had a ring exchange during New Years Eve 2023 following Windham-Burkes finalized divorce from Sean Burke after 23 years. They also had an unofficial ceremony on Valentines Day in Las Vegas, but things are finally official between the two, and we couldnt be happier for them.I literally this morning [Dec. 3] sent a text to our friends in Nasvhille, Were getting married tomorrow if youre free, said Windham-Burke. She overnighted her dress from Amazon and the two intended to get married at the courthouse, which unfortunately no longer honors homosexual marriages. This led them to get an official to come and perform the ceremony in the privacy of their own home. Moving forward, Windham-Burke and Spinner are about to close on a house on December 19 to officially embark on their new chapter as wives. Their California and New York weddings are still planned, but mostly so their grandmothers, who are too old to travel, can be there.Congratulations, you two!
